# Cohere launches a family of open multilingual models

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Cohere launched Tiny Aya, a family of open-weight multilingual AI models supporting over 70 languages that can run offline on everyday devices like laptops. The 3.35 billion parameter base model includes regional variants optimized for African, South Asian, and Asia Pacific languages. Trained on 64 H100 GPUs with modest computing resources, these models are designed for on-device deployment, enabling offline translation and applications in linguistically diverse regions without constant internet access. The models are available on HuggingFace, Kaggle, and Ollama for local deployment.
